the general consensus on the line is that unless fri post tax hit in the region of 130k, its just not worth staying in.

take your pension, thats about 8k post tax for most top level flt lts on 75. factor in civilian comparable wages, the fact the market is finally showing signs of recovery, then factor the norse of constantly fighting the allowances section who keep on making up new rules, and the general inability to plan ones life, an all in all, even 130k over 5 years post tax isnt that attractive. most wives now work meaning you can take the risk of going to single salary, especially with the gratuity in tow, even if you dont get a flying job i dont know a single person who has left and not scooped a job earning 80% or more of their former salary, not including pension in short order.

chance of a 100k+ net fri for 5 years? not much.

esprit de corps? not much about at the moment and morale is going to take a major dip imho post herrick once we are forgotten about once again.
